The era of political assassinations must end. Thank you, @K24Tv, for highlighting the attempt on the life of the General Secretary @BookerBiro and calling on state agencies, including @DCI_Kenya, to fulfil their responsibilities.
Update 02: Illegal Arrest and Continued Detention of Comrade Mwaivu Wa Kaluka, National Chairperson of CPM Kenya, and Comrade Kinuthia Ndungu 🧵
November 22, 8:31am
Comrade Mwaivu Wa Kaluka, the National Chairperson of the Communist Party Marxist (CPM) Kenya,
October saw a tragic rise in femicides across Kenya, with 13 women killed bringing the number of cases this year to an alarming 188. This highlights the urgent need for action to protect women. It's time to demand action and ensure justice for the victims.

RSL condemns the arbitrary arrests made during the #NaneNaneMarch and calls for solidarity with all illegally detained protestors. We shall win! #RutoMustGo
The Kenyan executive has decided to sacrifice its citizens for foreign interests.
Independent institutions and agencies have been compromised and have little respect for human rights.
Who will defend us Kenyans, if not ourselves?

26 activists were arrested today in Mathare following demonstrations over forced evictions and demolition of buildings on riparian land. Julie Wanjira Wanjiru, an activist and human rights defender with @MathareSJustice, explains that these demolitions have left families homeless with nowhere to go.

Today morning, Mathare residents protested evictions by the river without the provision of alternative housing. 26 of our members were violently detained & the police have also locked our space. @NPSOfficial_KE We demand the release of Mathare residents & an end to evictions!
URGENT ALERT
The @DefendersKE has this morning received concerning reports from Mathare about an alleged attack by @NPSOfficial_KE officers on human rights defenders from @MathareSJustice who were about their daily community organizing work at their offices.
14 HRDs have been arrested and are being held in Pangani Police Station. Solidarity is needed.
Defenders Coalition is looking into the issue to ascertain the safety and security of all human rights defenders involved.
We demand that the trumped up charges against these Human Rights defenders and members from Mathare be dropped immediately and they be released unconditionally and the inspector General of police to issue a public apology withing 24hrs!
Protesting is a constitutional Right!
Nairobi tonight; Gallant Kenyans have posted a poignant message to King Charles III. One that the government refused to have him see. This is how Kenyans really feel. #RoyalVisitKenya#ReparationsNow!
